Not everyone has the luxury of having high ceilings, but that doesn't mean that a space can't be beautiful if it has low ceilings! It's just a matter of playing with balance and color. In this article, we'll show you how you can make your ceilings part of your overall home design.
Want the illusion of higher ceilings? Two simple tricks might just do the job. If you have paintings or wall installations, try to hang them a little bit higher, but if you're going for a more permanent option, painting vertical stripes on your wall will do wonders for your space. Another painting option would be painting your ceiling a slightly lighter color than your walls. Get more tips here on how to achieve higher-looking ceilings.
Draw the eyes up by adding elements like curtains and bookshelves right on your wall. Make sure that they extend to the top of your wall to elongate it. Hang your curtains much higher than the windows themselves and make it fall all the way down on the floor. Install your bookshelves tall and mighty to make more room and add a little bit more character to your space.
When it comes to lighting, wall lightings are best for low ceilings. Be careful of where you install your lights! Since you're working with low headroom, don't install pieces that might get in the way of the person walking. Don't let a nightmare like people hitting their heads on the lights be an issue! Statement lighting would work too. Want more lighting options for low ceilings? Go here.
